Yamaha Digital Gauges

[GurdMar]

I recently bought a Yamaha 115 hp four stroke outboard engine. We have installed it successfully on a aluminium 5.25 m boat and it runs great without any problems - everything is sweet. What I would like to know if there is any backlit light available on these gauges ( speedo & tacho ), if so how do I connect it up. Or if there is none, how do I go about getting one installed to enable reading my gauges in the dark ( apart from shining light on it ).<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any suggestions

on the harness from the control box to the guages there is a blue and yellow pigtail unused. the quick way is to join these 2 together, lights will light when the key is on. if you want them switched with your nav lights, join said blue pigtail to the nav light switch, same side as the existing lights.
